I’ve had those pants since I was a freshman in high school. Anyway, have you ever suddenly felt outside yourself? Like suddenly you’re very aware of what you’re doing, how you sound, the way you walk, what people are thinking of you right-this-very-second? I’ve sort of had this as a prolonged sensation over the past few days. I feel like I see myself, really see myself, and it just startles me. Every time I open my mouth, slouch, hear my own voice, brush my teeth. It’s really rather odd. (Speaking of Odd- the new Odd Thomas book came out yesterday, and despite my love for Odd I couldn’t justify spending $30 on a book.)

Today marks day 171 of the 365 project. I thought during this month I had for sure failed miserably, but it turns out I did not. This was a pleasant surprise. My entries feel very detached, choppy, and informative. Sorry about that. Maybe I’ll just resort to picture posts for a while.

I’m pretty sure this just sky-rocketed to my top favorite pies (strawberry rhubarb)- it was extremely delicious. I baked some pork strips yesterday and they turned out wonderfully. I was very excited. But, in turn, I spaced out and forgot to add the box cheese to the scalped potatoes. Which wasn’t too bad because I had added my own real cheese, but I was hoping I could make it through the meal disaster free. But I guess I can’t help it when my mind is somewhere else.

I guess even though it took a while to make it was super delicious and very worth it.
